Have CM cannisters been ret-con'd as not existing anymore?
Not as far as I know, but then I tend to either miss or forget things occasionally.

ERGO, any ship that could fire a CM cannister before the advent of the MK-16 could certainly graft a CM cannister onto an equivalent MK-16 "booster" in place of its laser head.
Yes, but I think those cannisters were using older, smaller, less capable (by current Honorverse standards) CMs, where you *could* fit three or four per cannister.

Yeah... that's the problem with extending CM range.
